[Sorry, he's not going to put his "name" to something like this. It's awkward, and given that his "name" right now is just "Nameless Wanderer", he's pretty sure attaching it to this post would get people asking questions that aren't any of their business.]

Do you like your name? What does it mean? Who gave it to you? Would you change it if you could, and if you would what would it be?

I'm doing some research on names and why humans get so attached to them or don't.

I see. I do have a habit of taking things too seriously at times. My apologies for overstepping.

[threebetrayals]

No offense taken.

[For once. His temper is improving, at least.]

Have you been able to learn anything about them while you've been here?

[threebetrayals]

Nothing I didn't already know. Mostly that they're sentimental and remarkably stubborn.

[cawpatrol]

I can definitely agree on that second part. They can really take a long time to let things go.

[threebetrayals]

Which is impressive, given how short their lives are.

[cawpatrol]

They do? Or is just compared to yours?

[threebetrayals]

Most barely it make it to a century, if that.

[cawpatrol]

Definitely compared to you, then. Only Cookies imbued with magic can even think to live that long without crumbling again.

[Questions he cannot believe he has to ask:]

How long to cookies normally live?
